BWA Wrocław
Four galleries of contemporary art in the very centre of Wrocław, connected by a program and an idea. We present art and design in their new, sometimes surprising, manifestations. BWA Wrocław exhibitions, events and publications often take the form of socially engaged art. Our galleries and Żyjnia – a city health resort in Świdnicka Street – function as the so-called third place. One may visit them regardless of the events taking place, bring a dog, relax and have some drinking water. It feels like home with us.

Throughout this summer at Świdnicka 2-4, visitors will engage with […]
Szklarki. The Body in Tensioned Material
Szklarki is an exhibition by three women artists whose practice bridges craft, technology, and art; they work in a material burdened with the history of gender divisions and notions of who “should” be working with it. All summer, at SIC! BWA Wrocław Gallery we will be presenting ten of the artists’ works, using glass to speak of the body and the identity in its […]
Gothic Fever
Gothic Fever is an exhibition drawn to the darkness pooling between the glare of two suns. One blazes over Latin America; the other will scorch Wrocław. As part of the Art Scene program of the 26th TAURON New Horizons International Film Festival, we will expand the geography of gothic sensibility. Its tropical inflections will refract like rays through […]
